(*Including functional incontinence, whereby the ability to control micturition or defecation is intact, but the patient is unable to toilet normally due to immobilization or other reason.).
- There is a reasonable expectation that the participant will be hospitalized for at least 7 days and will be able to complete the study.

- Participant has any severe acute or chronic medical condition such that trial participation may constitute a risk or may interfere with their medical care or their attending physician advises against participation.

About this study
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Calmoseptine vs Destin Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Paste in Treatment of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis in Older Children and Adults
A randomized controlled trial that compared the use of two topical zinc oxide based diaper rash products in a structured care regimen for the treatment of IAD in hospitalized adults and older children.
Read the detailed description
Patients with IAD were recruited at Philippine General hospital to participate in a randomized controlled trial of two topical zinc oxide based diaper rash products used as part of a structured care regimen. All patients recruited to either arm of the trial received a structured care regimen for treatment of IAD for six days following study entry. At least twice daily and as required by incontinence episodes, treatment and care was provided by nurses and nursing aids trained in the study regimen to ensure its consistent implementation. Wet or soiled diapers were removed and the affected area was gently cleansed. Vigorous cleaning was avoided. A thin layer of the study topical ointment was applied prior to putting on a new diaper. Packs containing all the materials required were prepared for each patient daily, including the same brand of diapers for all patients, skin cleansing products and materials, and the assigned study ointment. Data were collected each day relating to their IAD using the Kennedy Skin Condition Assessment Scale.
- Conditions
- Incontinence Associated Dermatitis
- Being tested
- Skin care regimen with Calmoseptine ointment, Skin care regimen with Destin ointment
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Skin care regimen with Calmoseptine ointmentDrug
Application of Calmoseptine Ointment for 6 days will be applied on the affected area that will be calculated by multiplying the longest portion of the affected area measured in a head to toe orientation by the widest portion of the affected area measured from side to side(in Centimeters).
Skin care regimen with Destin ointmentDrug
Application of Destin for 6 days will be applied on the affected area that will be calculated by multiplying the longest portion of the affected area measured in a head to toe orientation by the widest portion of the affected area measured from side to side(in Centimeters). Patients will receive treatment with Destin Maximum Strength 40% Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Paste (Destin) for 6 days as part of a structured skin care regimen.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention: Skin care regimen with Calmoseptine ointment | Active comparator | In this arm the patients with IAD will receive treatment with Calmoseptine Ointment for 6 days as a part of a structured skin regimen Receives: Drug: Skin care regimen with Calmoseptine ointment |
| Control: Skin care regimen with Destin ointment | Active comparator | In this arm , patient will receive treatment with Destin Maximum Strength 40% Zinc Oxide. Diaper Rash Paste (Destin) for 6 days as part of a structured skin care regimen. Receives: Drug: Skin care regimen with Destin ointment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Complete healing of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis
The Primary outcome is complete healing of IAD. Complete healing will be defined with the Kennedy IAD Severity Score. It is a cumulative severity score ranging from zero (no IAD) to 9 (an area > 50 cm² affected, redness or inflammation that is uniformly severe in appearance, extreme erosion of the epidermis and dermis with moderate volume and persistent exudate). The score is generated by the IAD Skin Condition Assessment Tool developed by Kennedy and Lutz, which requires assessors to attribute scores of 0-3 for three domains: size of area affected, skin redness or inflammation, and erosion. The sum of these scores is the IAD Severity Score. The size of IAD affected area will be calculated by multiplying the longest portion of the affected area measured in a head to toe orientation by the widest portion of the affected area measured from side to side (in centimeters). Disposable paper tape measures should be used to prevent cross-infection.
Measured: 6 days up to complete healing of the Incontinence Associated Dermatitis
Secondary outcomes (1)
Pain scale measured by Wong Baker
IAD associated pain will be assessed using Wong Baker pain scale. The Wong Baker scale is the most appropriate pain scale for children or adults with cognitive impairment and VAS for older minors and adults. Wong baker pain scale is a simple visual instrument originally designed for assessing pain in children, but has been used in adult populations.
Measured: 6 days up to complete healing of the Incontinence Associated Dermatitis

A Phase 3 study testing Skin care regimen with Calmoseptine ointment and Skin care regimen with Destin ointment in people with Incontinence Associated Dermatitis, run by University of the Philippines at 1 site in Philippines.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Philippines. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Complete healing of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (time frame: 6 days up to complete healing of the Incontinence Associated Dermatitis). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02080247, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Apr 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
